[net.micro.pc] Request: 3270 capability for XT?

ehn0@bunny.UUCP (Eric Nyberg) (05/22/85)

I would like to find out how to interface my PC XT to our local
IBM mainframe. Is there any 3270 emulation software for the XT?

Thanks,
Eric Nyberg

Software won't be enough.  You can get an IRMA board (advertised in all
the PC magazines) for about $1K.  It does all the protocaol conversion and
file transfer in obth directions.
